I am looking for help with converting over my tank from Fauna Marin US Style Prime Frag System. I had to start over my tank 4 months ago due to lightning strike damaging my tank equipment and tank crashing. So I am starting over. I have used the Fauna Marin system in the past with good results but it is nearly impossible to get their products in the US. The last products I ordered came from Canada. So I think it is a time for change. I do like in their system the bulk of additives are twice per week. but I have had issues since restarting their products. My nitrates and phosphate were zero and had a Cyano outbreak. Did dose some nitrate and phosphate which took care of cyano problem along with adding some fish. Then added some coral frags. System now with high nitrates and phosphates. I only feed once a day and not a large amount.
Can the Zeolites be run in a media reactor? I have media reactors in my Dreambox sump that I would like to use for Zeolites. The reactors are plumbed off my main return pump. Otherwise, I do not have room in my sump for a dedicated Zeolite filter.
Here is my tank information:
My basic information is:
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - 100 gallons
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - 75 gallons
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - No
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.) - No
5. Are you using Ozone - No
6. Are you using UV - Yes
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume) - Bubble King Mini 160
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels - 0.13 and 17.3
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels - 480, 7.59, 1403 ( Using Apex Trident)
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) - Berlin method (filter socks, skimmer)
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) - Neptune Sky LED fixture
12. What corals do you keep - Mainly SPS with some LPS
13. Tissue color (light or dark) - Have some color in corals but alot are more brown in coral.
14. How long has the tank been running - 4 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system - Looking for alternative to Fauna Marin system . Hard time getting their products or any support. Like the Zeovit system and results I have seen online
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) - I plan on using Zeovit supplements. Looking for direction on this. Currently using Fauna Marin Coral Vitality, Coral Spint, Color Elements, Organic, Amin, Min S
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) - No live rock. My rock is marco dry rock
18. Any present problems - High nutrients
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.) - High nutrients. Mainly due to large fish load and mainly corals are all frags. There are 2 clams. Do have some green algae on rocks but not a large amount.
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) - Neptune Trident for Ca, Mg, kH,. Hanna for NO3 and PO4
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.) - None yet, Looking for guidance
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) - Salinity 34.5, Temp 79, pH 7.91
23. Which salt brand do you use -Red Sea Coral Pro Salt
Thanks for any help.
